Golf Detour

Good morning all!

Hope you all have a lovely week ahead of you. I will mostly be horizontal, as I just had a small operation last week and am still in recovery mode. However, Monday waits for no woman and another Ooh La La Challenge is on the horizon! Talking about Ooh La La, they will be presenting their latest CD on Create and Craft coming Saturday and it really is a gorgeous new release. The programme starts at 10.00 UK time, if you're interested! Anyway, back to the challenge, the theme this fortnight is "F is for.....", so use something on your card beginning with F! I've used a Funny image of a Fairway, which I've Framed and used some Foliage in the corner. Love to see what you can come up with!

* Ooh La La Detour decoupage image & sentiment from the Boys to Men CD

Father's Day UK

Good evening everyone!

It's almost Father's day here and in the UK, so I have been busy making Father's Day cards this weekend. This is first I would like to share with you, the other card is likely to follow later in the week. This card is for my FIL, who regularly likes a glass of wine with his dinner:

I'm not quite sure what you would call this fold, but it certainly makes for a more unusual card I think! Most supplies are from a decoupage sheet, but I like to start with the sheet without the example and then make my own card with the supplies. Always fun to see what someone else did with the same supplies and compare cards! I'm curious to see what you guys think, I know there's not much decoupage out there (or perhaps I am looking in the wrong places), mostly digis or stamps, but I like using decoupage just as much as other techniques and don't feel it's inferior to anything I can make with a stamp or digi stamp. Just different. Perhaps you want to give it a try as well ;) Enjoy the rest of your weekend guys!

Materials:
* Studio Light (decoupage) images and DPs
* Line peel offs and silver mirror card from stash
* Computer-generated sentiment

Challenges:
* Delicious Doodles (For the Fellas)
* Card Makin' Mamas (Father's Day)
* Saturday Challenge (Father's Day)
* One Stop Challenge (Father's Day)
* Poodles Parlous (Father's Day)
* Simply Create Too (Father's Day)
* C.R.A.F.T. Challenge (Male Card)
* Dutch Dare Challenge (For Dad)
* Card for Men (Father's Day)
* Creative Inspirations (Cards for a Male)

Father's Day NL

Good evening all,

Well, yesterday turned out to be a quite nice outing, we started the day with Flamengo dancing classes! It was actually good fun, although I am no dancer. The afternoon was spent inside dark caves, I didn't go in, but co-workers said it was quite nice. Rather them than me! We ended the day at one of my colleagues' house to have a BBQ in the back garden. Unfortunately by then it had started to rain, but we had a huge party tent so we all stayed dry and so did our hamburgers and chicken legs :)

As promised, here is my father's day card for my own dad. He used to be a farmer so it could very well be him on the tractor :)

Materials used:
* 3d image and backing papers: Studio Light
* Flowers and buttons by Papermania
* Co'ordinations inside paper
* Eline Vintage Stamp Set  
* Brad, letters, ribbon from stash. I've used bit from an old shiny envelope to matt the image. 

Challenges to be submitted to:
* Simply Create (All about you dad)
* Creative Inspirations (Card for dad)
* Sisterhood of Crafters (Celebrating dad)
* Bows and Berries (Masculine)
* Craft Your Passionm (Anything Goes)
* Delightful Sketches (Father's Day)
* Lexi's Creations (Father's Day)
* Sparkles Forum (Father's Day)
* Craft Us Crazy (Father's Day)
* Crafting for All Seasons (Father)

Today we went out and bought another laptop, I have now one all to myself :) Can use if for work, but more importantly for crafting, so I'm pretty happy with that.

Have a great (long?) weekend, hopefully the weather is a bit better over where you are!

Father's Day UK version

Hiya all!

Well, Father's day is just around the corner and because I am lucky enough to be able to make two cards, both for my dad and my father-in-law, I thought I'd get started with the first one. This one is for my father-in-law, he's an avid golfer so a golf theme seemed perfect. I often make a gold-themed card for him, this is in all likelyhood about the last golf image in my entire stash! I am actually pretty happy with this card, although it wasn't that hard to make. The grass papers on the front took a bit of measuring, but it now looks perfectly measured up. Well, perhaps not perfectly, but close enough :)

Materials used:
* Studio Light 3D image, sentiment and golf green vellum
* Grass paper and peel off sentiment inside from stash

I am submitting into the following challenges:
* Easy Craft Projects (For Dad)
* CYDA (Father's Day/Special Man)
* 2 Sisters (Anything Goes)
* Aud Sentiments (Card/Sentiment for a man)
* Charisma Cardz (Boy oh Boy!)
* Creative Card Crew (Anything Goes)
* The Paper Shelter (Anything Goes)
* Here Come The Boys (Father's Day)
* A La Card Monkey (Man Card)
* Samuel Taylor's Crafts Challenge (Male Theme), prize is a lovely Scrapbook kit!

Hope you guys like it, let me know!
